Legal Counsel

This isn't a conventional car company. We're a new global brand that focuses on the need of the connected generation, sustainability, and a hassle-free customer experience.

At Lynk & Co, we know that everything’s better when we move forward together. We’re working towards achieving equal gender representation at all levels of the company, as well as building a diverse team where everyone is respected, empowered, and celebrated. We’re not the kind of company we want to be yet, that’s why we’re looking for people that will challenge us and hold us accountable.
In short, no matter who you are or where you come from: if you’re good at what you do, then we want you.

Legal Counsel
Lynk & Co is a company that is challenging the car industry. This is done e.g. via a business model that is a direct sales model without a dealership network handling the sales and distribution to the end customer, and with a monthly membership model. This poses many opportunities but also challenges, and the role as Legal Counsel is in this context a very important and visible role.

We are a start-up, with the possibility and challenges that comes with that. In practice it means you need to be a driven problem solver, a person that takes initiatives and, since things can change quickly here, you can handle and quickly respond to changing priorities.

We are now expanding our legal team with an additional Legal Counsel. In this role you will report to the Head of Legal, and work together with a small (but mighty) team based in Gothenburg and Amsterdam.

This position can be based in Gothenburg or Amsterdam.

What you'll do

We are a small team and you will be involved in all legal areas, but with focus on consumer law and data privacy questions. There are however many other areas of law that need to be covered, so you will have to enjoy being a generalist, rather than specializing in a specific area. So in your work at Lynk & Co you will:

- Draft and negotiate legal contracts.
- Assist in solving daily questions with current customers and partners.
- Assist and support the organization.
- Work together with an amazing team and have fun


What you should have

- A Master of Laws degree (LL.M) from either Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Germany, France or Italy
- Experience from legal counselling either from a law firm or as in-house legal counsel
- A broad background from various legal areas.
- Ability to be self reliable and to work independently
- A problem solving mindset with a pragmatic approach to resolving legal issues.
- A cooperative and teamworking spirit
- Constructive communication skills; ability to translate legal to the business dialogue, and a pragmatic approach


What we offer

Sure, we have all the basics in place like pension and insurances, wellness allowance, and flexibility in where and when you work. But that's not the reason you choose us… You want to work with us because you will:

- Be part of a global and diverse team, with teammates from over 26 countries and an equal gender split
- Be part of a fun work culture with high team spirit. People really enjoy their teams and get along well with their teammates.
- Be part of creating something new that has never been done before. The pace is fast and it is never boring!
- Get the best of both worlds: a start-up atmosphere with the support of an established organization
- Make a difference. We're a lean team with a flat hierarchy, so every contribution has a direct impact


Working for Lynk & Co

We're not into strict hierarchy, but we do like collaboration, creativity, and people who challenge norms. We've cultivated a culture of personal development and role growth. If you're an original thinker who values being open, personal, and challenging, then you'll fit right in. In general, we think that imagination is just as important as expertise, and instinct can be as valuable as experience.

Sounds good? Well, then we want to hear from you.
